Adoption of Drones by Virtual City Police DepartmentName:Institutional affiliationAdoption of Drones by Virtual City Police DepartmentIntroductionUnmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drone are flying robot controlled either using a remote control or embedded software. Unlike manned aircraft, a majority of drones are much smaller and often fly low. UAS’ use rechargeable lithium-polymer batteries (LiPos), solar power, combustible fuel and laser transmitters. Initially, the technology was designed for military operations. However, in recent times, its application has diversified to fields such as delivery, agriculture, photography, and disaster response and wildlife management. However, the technology has raised privacy and safety concerns, leading to a series of state and federal legislation to regulate its use since 2013. Before the Virtual Police department reaches the conclusion to purchase or to reject the drone solution, it is crucial to understand the merits and the demerits of the technology. Surveillance drones legislation Florida, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Texas were the first states to introduced drone bills regulating the use of drones in law enforcement processes in 2013.
